Happy Friday Dear Susan,
Hopefully your town will not be overrun by tourists for this holiday weekend.
Maybe you need to really rest this weekend and put errands on hold for a few days. Perhaps your body is telling you to rest. I am so sorry you are still not feeling well. I wish I could help in some way.
How is sweet Bailey been doing? Did she have training class last night?
We are staying home this weekend so Nurse Addy will be around to check up on her patient!!!!:D:D:D:D:D
Love you bunches and sending lots of hugs. I am sending so many hugs I can't count that high;);):cool::cool::D:D
Addy
Hi Addy----and thanks for all those hugs!
It's 2pm and I'm just officially getting up for the day. Man, these little bacterium(?) need my rest!
Bad, bad headache yesterday.
Yes, puppy class last night.
Motion pills worked.
And I'll come back this evening and fill in my holes. Must go now.
I love you guys!
Susan
"Hopefully your town will not be overrun by tourists for this holiday weekend.
THIS is the beginning of tourist season. This is when we do not take the car out of the garage from noon Fri to Mon AM.
Maybe you need to really rest this weekend and put errands on hold for a few days. Perhaps your body is telling you to rest. I am so sorry you are still not feeling well. I wish I could help in some way.
You ARE helping in a very big way. I know you guys know this is rough and you are always so encouraging. And the hugs............I ABSOLUTELY love hugs!!!
How is sweet Bailey been doing? Did she have training class last night?
Bailey and Bob & I went to training class. Remember Gigi with the hula skirt/harness? Last week she and Bailey were the same size. Well....Gigi shrank!!! Bailey is way taller than she now. We did okay. I need to work with Bailey. This is just not Bob's forte. She learns quickly, if shown. I just haven't been up to it.
We are staying home this weekend so Nurse Addy will be around to check up on her patient!!!!:D:D:D:D:D"
I'm glad to know my nurse will be around for the weekend.
This A.M. I finally got up for real @1PM. Boy this thing zaps you! It's great that I'm sleeping at least.
I will try to get a "perspective" picture of Bailey so you can see how much she's grown.
Like I said...Ryan comes down in the morning. My birthday is Tuesday and he always comes down for that. We will get LOTS of cool pictures. I hope to take Bailey to a picnic area when she can run all she wants.
I need to go check o n Ella.
How is Koko?
love,
Susan
Sleep tight dear friend. You need to rest up for Tuesday, Birthday Girl:D
Oh Boy, we get to have a party for MOM! Marie will go find the surfer dudes, we'll have a bonfire on the beach and the dogs can run around and whale watch for Wally:D:D:D:D:D
I get to decorate the non basement and if Carrol shows up, she can do cake;);););)
RED SWEATERS ON TUESDAY EVERYONE, PROPER DRESS REQUIRED AFTER ALL:):):):):)
Abby.......you are TOO FUNNY!!!!:D:D:):)
I can't believe it's 9:40 and I'll soon be in bed.
YIKES!
WHERE IS Carrol?:p
Did her CPAP machine devour her?:confused::confused:
Is she out in the Pacific surfing with my dudes?:rolleyes:
And Marie-is she still getting up @3AM?:eek:
Take care and I'll see you, so to speak, tomorrow!
Love and HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Susan
Nurse Addy????? Are you there as you said you would be???
I'm here in .............gee I don't follow my own advice-land. I took the car out. I went to McDonald's. The universe is HERE. Traffic backed up, people acting crazy, lines, lines, lines.
I sprayed weeds at the entrance after watering everything thoroughly. I had mulch delivered so tomorrow it will look all pretty 'n everything.
I sprayed my own weeds......but I still have to do the backyard.
Ryan is napping. Bob is being grumpy. Bailey is napping. I'm trying to get a couple of things done while it's quiet.
I've looked n the non basement and I don't see any red sweaters there.:eek::eek::eek:
I don't know that we'll need them....it's a very pleasant 79 degrees now and the humidity isn't too bad.
I sharpened knives and still have all my fingers and toesies.
LOL Sus, I'm here. I was waiting for you to wake up.
Girl, you should not be sharpening knives right now:eek::eek::eek:
Don't you remember Marie wrapped you in bubble wrap the other night? You are bubble Mom until you are well.:D:D
I went to look for a hanging basket but it has been so darn cold here, they are not very nice this year. I finally found one I kind of liked but it is not as spectacular as in past years.:(:(:(
We cut five trees down in the front of our drive way and we have so much watering to do until the grass gets going. So I've been in and out gardening and sprinkling.
How is our almost birthday girl? 79 is a nice temperature. you are lucky indeed.
I think Marie took the day to cuddle Ella.:):):)
I hope you and Miss Bailey get some major cuddles in too!!!!
I had Mr. Koko outside with me while I was watering the grass. He had a fine time while Miss Zoe snoozed in the house. SHHHHHH, don't tell Miss Zoe she missed out:D:D:D
Happy Saturday!!!!
Love,
Addy
Happy Sunday!!!!
The sun is shining, the birds are singing, it is a beautiful day.
A great day to be lazy,no work, spread a blanket outside with Bailey and read a book!!!!
I sure hope you don't have a headache!!!!!:eek::eek::eek:
Stay away from the dang knife sharpener!!!!!;);):p:p
Love,
Addy
P.S. Beat you to the thread:D:D:D:D;););)
:):)
LOL-yes you beat me to the thread.......but have you already placed 15, 3CU Ft, bags of mulch, huh, huh, huh??!!
I'm not very friendly when I have to get up so early. I like sleeping in.
I could go outside, but no can stay in the sun due to antibiotics. Bailey is here now, chewing on a pigs ear.
I had a bunch of stuff for Ryan to lock at/fix on my computer and now I can't find the list. I said-Okay-you can show me how to get my camera's remote to work. Can't find the remote. This is what happens when Bubble Mom doesn't get the time she needs to get her "deskwork" done.
I think I'll go back and finish sleep. Nice seeing you stop by. I'll check in later.
Oh-do you live right on Lake Michigan?
Just curious.
HUGS!!!!
Susan
Shoot, it is going to rain, no more sun:(:(
I had hoped to clean up the back patio area. Now a movie is looking good!!!
We live about a mile from Lake Michigan in a suburb of Milwaukee. The lake forms a bay here and we get the cold wind from the lake so it is always colder. We just came back from my Mom's. She lives inland about 20 miles and it was much warmer.:mad::mad:
Wow, it is getting really dark and still. I guess I go check the weather again. I wish I were A DUCK:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
Love,
Addy
Quack, quack!! :):)
It's now 88 here. I walked with a friend to go get some Rita's Ice. I think I'm in sugar shock now.:eek:
Guys are outside sunning. Bailey and I are in the studio. Looking for two things for Ryan.
Why is it that I can never catch up??!!:(:mad:
Hi Susan and Addy,
So sorry for being absent...We keep wondering how something that weighs in at 8 lbs can be the DEVIL. She is so sweet one moment and then she attacks. I am fairing far better than the hubby--haha!! Thoroughly enjoying her. :)
Susan - I thought you were suppose to be resting so you get better....If you are not better I don't think I can bring the cute surfer dudes:cool: to the beach for a party.:D:D
So glad the pills are helping Bailey. I hate to tell you, but Miss Ella doesn't get car sick. She gets a little nervous, but then settles down and sleeps.
I know what you mean about tourist season starts. They flock to the beach here and cannot help themselves, but be stupid. Do you think it is the salt air that makes them crazy????:confused::rolleyes::eek:
Keep getting better, it was in the sixties here today and windy. Tomorrow it should be in the 70's which will bring out more of the crazies....
Happy B-day on Tuesday. Wednesday is my daughter's b-day. I think I will wear my red sweater for a while in the morning on Tuesday. :)
Hi Marie-
How thoughtful of you to think about wearing your red sweater for a while in the morning on Tuesday. I'll have to check today to see what I have in red.
Hey gals!! Bailey has hit 6.0 lbs at the end of her 4th month. I've read several places that if you double the weight at that moment you'll have a pretty good idea of adult weight......just as a guideline. That would bring her in at 12 plounds.....and I'm thinking a tad or two more. She gotten very tall and I hope to take some pictures to post of "before" and "after". Her feet indicate a ways to go yet.
I AM taking care of myself. Early to bed, a short arise in the middle of my sleep and then late riser. I haven't taken my temp but I'm pretty sure it's back to normal.:)
Yesterday was the first day I did not take a nap............a good sign I think. I'm still bushed but starting to feel like I'll get "there" - wherever that is.:confused::confused:
I'm getting sleepy, so very sleepy.:eek::eek:
Happy Memorial Day everyone!
Love
too sleepy to finish, Susa
Susa, I like that for a nickname, as long as you don't start writing marching band songs!!!!;);););)
When I brought Koko home he was 13 pounds. For him that was a bit too thin but he is 11" at the shoulder. So 12 pounds for Miss Bailey will be perfect for you.:):)
Tuesday is red sweater day in honor of your birthday!!!!!!
And cause we like red:p:p:p:p:p
Happy Memorial Day!!!
Love,
Addy
Just checking in. I have been so tired that I could hardly stand up. went 3 nights waking up every couple of hours with either Chloe or Sparky. I am so ashamed to admit it but on Friday I was so tired (and my husband was asking me a question) that I couldn't think and I gave Sparky's insulin to Chloe! :( :( :(
The poor little thing had to stay in the hospital all day. I felt so bad and cried all day.
Posted Chloe's latest results from UT on her thread.
Sparky's liver enzymes came back perfectly normal. Now to regulate his sugar. Vet asked me to do a curve. I was to do it every hour for 4 hours. I missed the 9 and 10:00 and didn't remember until 10:30!!
I am suppose to get my CPAP machine tomorrow. I can hardly wait. My whole throat is so sore and I could just fall asleep.
I know what you mean, Susan..............
I'll be back on the trail with new happenings after I get a night's sleep.
Take care everyone. i love you all.
Carrol
Oh Carrol-I thought you'd had the CPAP about a week now. You really need to watch yourself. I can tell you from experience that your mind really plays games on you, when you're that tired. You also might do things you don't remember doing. Maybe it's a good idea to take some real short notes when something is done? But then you're so tired, you won't remember to do that!!
NOT FAIR!!
It hit 95 degrees here today. And it is one hot 95 degrees!!
Take care of yourself Carrol!
Love,
Susan

I had two tags on /Bailey's little cloth collar-her id tag and her rabies tag. The lady said that was too much weight for Bailey's neck.
Ever heard anything like that before?
Thanks.
Oh-not good.....I tossed one of Bailey's toys down the steps as we were going downstairs. She decided to jump for it......and landed only on 2 of the 7 or so steps. :eek::eek: She looked so scared! She has come back up them, so she's not scarred for life....and I'll never do that again!:mad::(:o
Please don't report me to the HSPCA!

Gee and I thought I was being witty right back at you:p:p:p You must have morning brain fog.;););)Quote:

That is not a good condition for a
BIRTHDAY GIRL
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear Susan
Happy Birthday to you
Love,
Addy
I just knew I could come in here and find something from Addy! :D:D:D:):):):)
I did get your wit.....I just wondered if you got mine.:confused::rolleyes:
Bummed out today.
The big toe on the already worked on foot feels like something isn't quite right.
Bob is grumpy.
Ryan was grumpy.
Missed Palmer yesterday.
Just downright cranky, I am.
-s
It is Red Sweater Day!!!! Happy Birthday Susan!!!:):):D:D:p:p
Yeah, you had a regular temperature!!!:) Keep up the good work and get better.
95 degrees would be lovely sort of, but I would like it a bit warmer here than in the high 60's.
Have the best Birthday possible!!!
Red Sweater Day!!!! I like that!
Dull headache today :mad::mad:
Now, this sweater..........is it cardigan, turtle neck, crew neck or boat neck?? Is it wool or cashmere, or cotton? Will it shrink when washed?
(Don't you wish we would do that!)
I passed on dinner out for tonight. Just not up to it. My next door neighbor brought over this HUGE piece of chocolate cake............layered...looks kind of like those French pastries..........what are they called........with the custard in the middle? Eclair!!! That's right!!! My you guys are quick!!!
Dinner time on the OK Corral. Don't forget to neatly fold your sweaters before you put them away tonight!
Love,
Susan
Yes we will put a piece of tissue paper in the folding so they do not wrinkle.
That was so nice of your neighbor to bring over cake.:):)
I will update Miss Ella's thread, but just trying to fit work and taking care of her. Good thing my daughter can work at home a lot.:p
Miss Ella's not liking the crate/kennel so much. She will go in it, sleep in it when the door is open, but goes bananas sort of when the door in closed like a cage. Of course she just sleeps on the bed with us at night--we are wimps.:D:D
Happy Birthday again!!!:):D:p
Look, chocolate anything, I mean especially an eclair, well it is down right illegal, I mean it, against THE LAW, not to eat it.
Sus, i am sorry you are felling crappy on your birthday. But
GUESS WHAT???
Tomorrow can be your UNBIRTHDAY. So----- you can celebrate your unbirthday tommorrow because I just KNOW you will feel better and have a good day:D:D:D
love,
Addy
Hey Marie-dare I suggest?:confused::confused:
Bailey will go into her cage when she's bored. Daytime and evening.:)
The night thing is only bad for about 3 nights. (at least for Bailey.) And once they figure out the "bed thing," you're done for!:eek:
I put Bailey in the cage and tell her goodnight and shut the door. Then I get into bed, reach over and pull the crate all the way, as close as I can get it, to the side of the bed by me. That way, I can get my fingers through the squares if she gets upset. I try not to say anything once she's in there. If it continues, I stick in the fingers and try to reach for her schnoz. I pet her if I can find her and tell her "nite-nite."
The first few times I timed it by the clock. It was less than ten minutes I think. If I am anticipating issues, I note the time. The only problem I am having (and it's all ME!) is if I get up in the night. If I take her out, once we come back in she's not keen on going back in. I'm trying not to get suckered into that one either. I'd love to have her on the bed and I expect soon she shall be. When we go back to bed in the AM, she is in our bed by me.
I also give her a tiny little treat right before putting her in the crate. That gives her a signal.....hey, the day is over....let's catch some zzzzzzzzzzzzs.
-Bailey's Mom
Addy-could tomorrow be the non birthday? Like the non basement?:cool:
I just need some zzzzs.
Ryan gave me this piece of hardware that lets you stream stuff to your tv. Bob has acted like it was given to him. But I'll get him....either Ryan or I will give one to Bob for Father's Day...heh, heh, heh. ;););) Then I can have mine up here where the chairs are comfier and I don't have to suffer through channel surfing.:mad:...and I can pick MY shows!:D
I expect we don't sound like a very happy couple from what I have written recently. Chalk it up to the blood bacteria.
I am sooooooooo tired of feeling so tirrrrrrrrrrrrrred and sick.
Better day tomorrow, for sure!
Love,
Susan
Nite-nite!
Hi Susan,
Hope you are feeling better.
Have IMS appointment today and then have to go in to the office.
Will try to check in on you tonight. Did not want you to think I abandoned you:D;)
Love,
Addy
HAPPY NON-BIRTHDAY TO YOU, SUSAN!!!!!!
Sorry I am late but our Time Warner modem was on the fritz and we had no TV, internet or phone! All of a sudden, today, it is working - go figure :rolleyes: Hope you had a great day!
Love and hugs,
Carrol
Hey Carrol-Glad you're back up and running. Go figgah on these electronics~!
Thanks for the non-birthday wishes.
I need to check up on your thread.
Cpap there yet?
love,
susan
Hi Addy-:)
Somehow I got way behind in your thread.
I feel so self centered now!
How did the appt go today?
I'll check your thread.
Thanks for taking the time, even though you did not have it.
Love,
Susan
Hey Sus,
Appointment went fine. Thank you for asking. We start very low dose Vetoryl Saturday.
I have your headache today!!! Probably stress migraine for me:o
Love ya,
Addy
Hmmmmmmmm......no one responded. Does that mean all you guys have anvils around your puppie's necks?Quote:

Hey Susan,
I can't answer the tag question. What about plastic tags? They can't weigh that much can they? Zoe is micro chipped and registered with a pet notification company so that is just a plastic tag with the 800 number and her ID number. It weighs nothing. If she is lost they call that number and then the company calls me.
Hugs,
Addy
Hello, Miss Me???? :D:D
Tag issue. I couldn't stand the noise, but even the license made noise against her collar loop. Out here they are suppose to wear their license (big rip off if you ask me--I had to pay $100+ a year because Maddie was never spay and she never had a puppy so go figure if I was responsible. Finally got a vet to write a letter stating she was no longer fertile, but only like the last year of her life).
As to info - I would put a cell phone number and maybe your last name, but not address.
We talked to the breeder and asked if he micro chipped - he kind of chuckled and said no an aussie won't leave you or run off so there is no point in doing that. We never micro chipped Maddie and she never ran off--it isn't in their nature if trained correctly--they always want to be with you to lay where they can see you, etc.
I hope you have come up with an answer. I like the idea of plastic...
I hope you are still on that road to recovery and Bailey is being an angel. :)
We have a rabies tag and this id one....then there will be a microchip id. Maybe I'll take off the id one. I need SOMEthing to let me know when she's on the move.
Thanks ladies!
Night, Night Susan, sleep tight dear friend.
Love,
Addy
